Liverpool Ancient Worlds 2013 Summer School

If you are struggling with hieroglyphics I seriously suggest that course. I did it last year and it was brilliant i finally "got it".

With
the Liverpool Ancient Worlds 2013 Summer School fast approaching, make sure you
book soon if you haven't already.

Our courses are delivered by experts at the University of Liverpool, and
lectures will be combined with practical sessions, giving you the opportunity
to make use of our world class facilities.

This
year's Egyptology culture course (29th July to 2nd August) is
'Investigating the Past: Current Research in Egyptology at Liverpool'.
As well as our experts giving you privileged access to their current research
through lectures, you have the opportunity to handle and discuss Ancient
Egyptian objects from the Garstang Museum of Archaeology, and to try your hand
at epigraphic recording (copying hieroglyphic inscriptions from genuine
artefacts (for which no knowledge of the language is required)). Each day is
themed, and topics to be covered include Egyptological history, museum
collections of the North West, Ancient Egyptian technology and innovation,
magic and ritual, and recording and interpreting inscriptions.

In
the second week, our Ancient History and Archaeology course
(5th August to 9th August) is 'Approaches to the Ancient World'. This
course will focus on the different avenues of study available to the
archaeologist. As well as the more traditional lecture and seminar
format, our staff will deliver a series of hands-on and practical
workshops in flint knapping, cave painting, and exploring how we can 'read' the
past through human remains (osteoarchaeology). As ever, use will be made of our
unique collection of artefacts in the Garstang Museum of Archaeology.

Our
ever popular Hieroglyph courses are filling up fast. We are
offering Beginner Hieroglyphs (5th August to 7th
August), Intermediate Hieroglyphs (7th August to 9th August)
and Reading Hieroglyphs (7th August to 9th August), with all
three being taught by our undergraduate language teaching staff, ably assisted
by our team of PhD students.

Three
day language courses: £90 each or take Beginner and Intermediate together
for £150

Accommodation

Delegates
have the option of staying on campus at the new University Vine Court
Residence, where rooms are reserved for participants. Accommodation at Vine
Court costs £45 per night, bed and breakfast.
